There
are two standard methods of fishing for sharks, chumming and trolling.
Each method has its proponents and opponents. Let's talk about
chumming first. It's fairly simple to do and it produces results.
There are several types of chum available. There is the standard
frozen ground up fish chum, blocks of frozen ground up mackerel
and freeze-dried chum. My personal favorite is the ground mackerel.
Mackerel is a very oily fish and I just like the slick it provides.
The other frozen chum (Mr. Chum or Bongo's) works very well too.
I have never liked the freeze-dried chum which relies on a can
of cat food to produce a smell and have never had good
results with it.
